Hello, Mmanmadharao, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Speedy deletion nomination of A TALE OF TANKS & PONDS IN ANDHRA PRADESH
A tag has been placed on A TALE OF TANKS & PONDS IN ANDHRA PRADESH requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Explaining a bit about Wikipedia
Hi, Mmanmadharao; I'm the person who requested the page you just made listed above be speedily deleted. I see that this is your first contribution to Wikipedia, so my apologies for doing so, but I have two concerns. The first is that this may be a copyright violation. The info you posted is an exact copy of the pdf file found at. If that document is copyrighted to anyone (even if it doesn't say that), Wikipedia can't allow a direct copy to be posted here. Sometimes in the U.S., government documents (which this appears to be) are not copyrighted, although they usually explicitly state that that is the case, and nothing on this or the meghed.gov.in site seems to indicate that there is not copyright.

However, as I explained on the article's talk page, even if this isn't a copyright violation, it still isn't a suitable topic for a Wikipedia article. Wikipedia is designed to be an online encyclopedia. It's not just a collection of essays or book chapters. The chapter you posted is part of a larger work, and only makes sense in that larger work. Each Wikipedia article should have one, single topic (although it can be a complex topic, and have sub-topics), but not just a general discussion of a field of interest. This chapter doesn't seem to meet that criteria. Above, in the welcome notice, there's some good information for you to take a look at about how to go about creating your first Wikipedia article, as well as general information about how Wikipedia works. Please have a look at that. If you have any questions, feel free to ask here or on my talk page, which you can reach by clicking the blue link just to the right that say "talk."
